guilty pleasures

these are just some small things that make me happy in not necessarily the healthiest or most enlightened sorts of ways. in no particular order:

+ system of a down - goofy armenian guitar wrok[!] goodness

+ double rainbow pumpkin ice cream - seasonal creamy orange goodness

+ csi - gory crime drama goodness

+ pink nipples [stop it!] - boozy licorice goodness

- 1.5 oz. sambuca
- 1.5 oz. vodka
- .5 oz. grenadine
pour over ice, sip, tastes even better as ice melts

i sort of made this one up. we bought a bottle of sambuca on a whim and were looking for mixed drinks to make in an old bartender's reference guide i have. it listed sambuca and vodka as a silver nipple, but i thought it needed something, so i threw in the grenadine. better. i went about my business. when i picked it up again later after the ice had partially melted, it tasted even better. cut down on the syrupyness some.

+ ong bak - martial arts cinema goodness with a thai spice and all the trappings.

+ chicken tikka masala - savory creamy orange goodness

+ post-race kfc - junk-food goodness

after central coast races, i'm in the habit of stopping for gas at the same exit off 101. it's the first gilroy exit headed back north. there just so happens to be a kfc/a&w combo where i can get popcorn chicken, cole slaw, and a root beer float. it hits the spot. this is, of course, after more orthodox post-race recovery nutrition - endurox. (orthodox endurox is decidedly not a guilty pleasure.) it's the only time i go to kfc, i swear... this week i got a burrito with friends instead, which was good and all, but i kind of missed kfc...

+ thai iced tea - sweet creamy orange goodness
